Quick Start

1. Install

pip install slideagent

2. Configure Claude Desktop

Get the configuration:

python -m slideagent config

Add to Claude Desktop settings (Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slideagent": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "slideagent"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

3. Use in Claude

Create a presentation called "Q4-results" with:
- Title slide "Q4 Financial Results"
- Bullet points with key metrics
- A revenue chart
- Conclusion slide

How It Works

SlideAgent is an MCP server that:

1. Runs in the background when Claude Desktop connects
2. Creates a slideagent_workspace/ in your current directory
3. Manages projects with self-contained themes and assets
4. Generates HTML slides that can be exported to PDF
